We’re about to embark on a voyage towards a radically different style of football .. strap in, there will be some big changes - players who have been duds in the last year or two could come alive under the new system.
Postecoglou's formation is a 2-3-5. His wide players aren't meant to come inside to attack like an inverted winger but to create the half-space for the 8s/10s to run into.
Since Udogie and Porro have mostly played wingback, it shouldn't shock anyone if they are LW/RW for Ange's system.
Sonny scored 23 the season before. Conte sticking Perisic on the same side fucked him.
235 in possession?
If that's how it plays out then c'est la vie, but i have zero interest in seeing either of them as one of what is typically seen as the front 3.
What about out of possession......? If it 's essentially a 433 then we may as well just call them WBs.
Out of possession it's 4-1-4-1 ish I think.
Still what's effectively Porro & Udogie receeding into the back 4 though yeh?
Because he plays with a hard press with the press starting with the front 3 and the 9 doing the hard work similar to how Brazil play, he will have to change this if Kane stays, maybe you should watch some of his previous games
If they were playing WFs they'd be in the first bank of 4 as wingers I think.
So who drops into the back 4 then?
If you play them as Wfs then you also have FBs behind them.
A hard press? You’ve been taking hard drugs
I’m sure any sane human would alter that system to fit in Kane over some 1 goal diving mug that can’t control a football
Between you and what Mach was saying; something doesn't make sense......?
In possession 235:eg.
CB / CB
#8 / #6 / #8
Porro / Rfwd / CF / Lfwd / Udogie
#8 / #6 / #8
Porro / Rfwd / CF / Lfwd / Udogie
Out of possession 4141:
eg.
??? / CB / CB / ???
#6
??? / #8 / #8 / ???
CF
#6
??? / #8 / #8 / ???
CF

Changed it in bold. Inverted FBs with the ball.
Fwiw I think it's pointless expecting Ange to even slightly entertain having xFBs and x2 WBs on the pitch at the same time. He's an attacking purist.
God! Both look awful!!!
........But that's essentially what the above depicts.

Yeah, I don't think he will do it.

Udogie, in limited viewing, seems like could make a more smooth transition to LB than Porro to RB.
CB / CB
Emerson / Bentancur / Udogie
Porro / Kulu/ CF / 8 / Son/Gil
Hmmmm... Still looks like an attacking formation yet with with very few outright attacking players.
Son would be next to useless played out that wide too.
well they're not statues... it's a very free flowing attack. But the Wingers are in charge of keeping the width.
Son is better when he comes in off the wing anyways.
There's the catch. Everything in this brave new world is built around the manager and the system, not the quality of players. Kane staying might shift attention away from what should always big our focus-Big Ange.
